If you go to Flying Bison brewery, they simply take an imprint of your card, and only charge you if you fail to bring the keg back within 60 days or so. No deposit at the time of sale, its great. Also, if you get 1/8 kegs from consumers, they only charge the container deposit ($30), not the NYS fee/deposit ($50). We picked up a 1/8 of blue light for like $27 I think. ---

> [@ericvw7989](#): > > How many beers does an 1/8 equal out to be? I believe a half keg is about 15 gallons. That would make 1/8 Keg about 7.5 gallons X128oz/gal = 960oz/ 12oz per beer= 80 beers ---

Wrong…a 1/6 keg is only 5 gallons. You’ll get about 60 12oz beers from a 1/6 keg I believe. That would make the amount of beers from a 1/8 keg a bit less. ---

Oooops. I for some reason thought you were talking about a 1/4 keg… hence my calculation above being the calculation for a 1/4 keg
